Starting off on a positive note, I have THE best mom! She helped me basically gut out my garage and put together two new shelving units to keep things organized. It took all day Saturday and since I have not been feeling that great & cannot do heavy lifting, my mom did most of the work. Today she came back over and tackled my two guest rooms! I cannot believe how much crap we threw away! I knew I liked saving things; however, I had no clue how much of a pack rat I really was…borderline on embarrassment.
The bad part of today was that I felt horrible- feeling very tired and fatigued. All I could eat was a Cosco blueberry muffin & milk until around 2ish where I then made myself snack on a handful of oyster crackers. I had no appetite at all and often got waves of nausea. Tonight I managed to get some strength and make some pasta with broccoli (I get a thumbs up on the having healthy greens!??!).
Along with the nausea I am still battling sleep issues. I swear it is nature’s cruel joke. I am trying to grow a human inside of my body and I NEED sleep. But no, nature wants to ‘prepare’ me for the lack of sleep I will have with the baby. When I hear Mike’s sweet deep breaths as he sleeps in a fetal position I get pissed. Okay…pity party for one is over….
i was really nauseous the first 4 months. carbs definately helped (potatoes, especially) but protein is surprisingly helpful. hang in there – you will feel better soon enough
